My dealer told me today that the factory is closed again next week (5/24) because of a parts shortage.

If you’ve been paying attention you realize there’s been a worldwide pandemic going on for over a year. All automobile manufacturing, in fact almost ALL manufacturing, has been severely impacted across all brands. Ford has shuttered plants for months. Likewise Chrysler, Toyota and others. The parts pipeline has been disrupted to the extent that manufacturers can’t rely on receiving all parts on time for production. Just one disrupted chain can stop the line. Tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs are going unfilled.

So, no, Walter, C8 production is no more snake bit than any other model car in the world right now.
